A special Remembrance Day exhibit is on display at The Orillia Public Library.
Stop by the Library Courtyard before Monday to view a special exhibit through the windows in the lobby with paintings by Don Ward, Remembrance Artist, along with some original wartime posters and memorabilia from local military collectors.
There are also videos providing a glimpse into the lives of local people during the first and second World Wars, while poppies crafted by local students, youth and seniors of all sizes and styles are on display.
